Program Removal

[Guest]

I successfully(somewhat) uninstalled two programs from my PC using the
add/remove programs feature in control panel yet, both programs still show in
the add/remove area of control panel>add remove programs. When I click on
them to unstall again, I am presented with an error message. I have
searched the registry and not able to find a reference to keywords of the
program name. What else can I do? Is there a specific area in registry or
otherwise I should be looking?

Thank you.

The horse is out of the barn on this, but sometimes it's best to see if the
program has an uninstall option before you use the add/remove.
But, you can use the xp search tool, just type in the program name in both
fields and delete any entries that it finds. However, Mike's suggestion is a
also a good way to go.
